[Greek Writer]

I am very experienced in Word and taught it in seminars to thousands of
people for years. You never know everything though, this is my issue if
anyone has insight.

I have a document with 2 headers and the same footer. I choose first page
header and do my thing with it. Then enter the footer the same. Margins for
the pages and distance is the same in setup. The footer on the rest of the
document doesn't match to the first page. I try to just inch it up, but it
throws of the entire document. I also have a snazzy text box shaded grey down
the right side of the header that says Notes that is equally messed up on the
first page - doesn't sit in the same spot either. There is an over 2 inch
right margin to wrap the text around this box and a normal left margin.

Is it a limitation to get the same footer on the first page as the rest of
the document? Does someone know if this works in 2007? Dazy and confused -
thanks for your suggestions.

It may not be the issue here, but one fact you may not be aware of is this:
If you copy text from one footer and paste it into another, no matter how
carefully you exclude the paragraph mark from what you copy and include the
paragraph mark when pasting, Word will still insert an extra, empty
paragraph. It is this empty paragraph that may make one footer different
from the other; obviously, this problem is easier to spot if you display
nonprinting characters (Ctrl+Shift+8).

Suzanne - thank you very much for your insight and reply. It did correct the
problem. This has been one of the most annoying issues I ever had in Word
that I can remember.

It is counterintuitive and illogical to the point of (IMO) being a bug, but
I doubt we'll ever see any change in the behavior. I can't imagine what the
developers were thinking.

Well, it certainly makes a good argument for displaying nonprinting marks...
